When Marcia Weaver became Dorothy Moore’s manager in the late 1990s, Moore had virtually quit the music business. Weaver helped Moore through legal issues regarding her royalties, and in 2002 helped her set up her own record label, Farish Street Records of Mississippi, for which Moore has now recorded four CDs. Thanks to Weaver’s tireless promotion of Moore, the singer of “Misty Blue” is on at least six Mississippi Trail Markers, was inducted into the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame, and received the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award from the Monterey Bay Blues Festival. At the same time, Weaver has been largely responsible for Moore’s appearances across the United States, South America, Canada, South Africa, and Europe. In 2006 she helped Moore publish a children’s book, Little Dorothy.
